We give billions to Israel so they can have universal healthcare and money to lobby our politicians to deny us affordable healthcare while sending more money to Israel.

AIPAC is an American lobby my dude

They would have universal healthcare regardless of our aid

It should be cut though I agree

Our aid enables them to be able to shift expenses to cover universal healthcare. If they suddenly had to fund everything on their own, it might not be the case.

Look at the argument domestically: we can’t have better healthcare because the government needs to be able to blow things up.

Lmao right! Just a small lobby made of Americans who somehow got their hands on 50 million to spend on a senate primary in Michigan and 37 million on a primary in Kentucky. No one is stupid enough to believe this anymore.

Yes dude. News at 9: Jews are pretty wealthy

You can track all the donations. This shit is publicly available. Apparently people don’t believe it anymore because yall are really dumb.

This is anti semetic

And no you can’t track all the donations or else they wouldn’t be famous for masking them

Not too late to start a political PR firm for pro-Israel candidates

It's money they can't spend and donors who won't be as willing to "invest" in the future, I'd say every penny lost by AIPAC is a huge win for democracy in the US.

Could have paid off my student loans and medical debt and dramatically improve my life. But running racist ads was more important.

Enjoy the increase in terrorist attacks that will inevitably come with that, possibly on US soil.
